Google Paying for Firefox Installs

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the paid-to-play dept.

slashkitty writes "Google updated their AdSense service to pay publishers for referrals. What's interesting is that now they pay publishers $1 US for each FireFox download with the Google Toolbar installed. Is this the bump that Firefox needs to boost downloads? Will Google be able to pay the millions for all the downloads?"

    all the Firefox installs at the lab here. I'll even download them a few times each for every system, to make sure it downloads properly.
